Who sets up and pays for a property appraisal?

An appraisal is an important component of any property sale or refinance. By providing an unbiased assessment of a property, an appraisal ensures that the buyer doesn’t overborrow from a lender. The lender usually will order the appraisal while the buyer foots the bill. Be sure to choose a licensed and certified appraiser who is familiar with the area. Experience is also key and Total Home Analysis has more than 75 years of combined appraisal and inspection experience.
